Geraldine looking very relaxed as Cool Runnings passes Foynes.
Cool Runnings en-route to Kilrush.
What a lovely day for boating.
circa 12:20...Snow Mouse and Cool Runnings on the approach to Tarbert.
Circa 13:29...we have arrived at the entrance to the channel leading to Kilrush Marina. Two happy campers...(actually make that boaters!). Ger & Pat looking content after their first Limerick to Kilrush passage.
Evelyne onboard Snow Mouse as it makes its way to the channel leading to Kilrush Marina.
Geoff & Evelyne share a happy moment.
A coffee onboard Snow Mouse after we berth in Kilrush Marina. The faces say it all...
DAY 11 - Friday, 3rd July, 2015
We entertain Pat & Geraldine and Geoff & Evelyne to a light lunch onboard Arthur whilst we are still berthed in Kilrush Marina.
DAY 12 - Saturday, 4th July, 2015
Well...weather at Brandon Bay not looking too good for a few days... :-( But, I have noticed over the past couple of years that forecasts change quite dramatically, even those near the current date! So, anything can happen...simply be ready to go! Winds high for my liking (and Arthur's crew!) ...and swell rising. Happy with winds at F3 (or lower) and swell not more than 1.6m. And I am very conscious that neither of our travelling companions have been on the West/South-west coast before and that one crew has never been to sea before. Gently, gently is my thought!
DAY 15 - Tuesday, 7th July, 2015
Pat & Geraldine entertain us to lunch on Cool Runnings. Little did we realise at this time that we would be spending a little longer in Kilrush than originally planned.
Part 2 sees us head for Fenit, Dingle and then onto Lawrence Cove Marina on Bere Island (Bantry Bay).
